Golden Eagle Sparrowhawk II, my wife recently shot one and we are thinking about getting one for her.

Bowtech Lady Hawk, or Rascal. The Rascal's longest Dl is 25" - but you could use a string loop to make up the difference - That' what I got for my wife and she loves it.

Parker Challenger. Very small grip and light bow with good performing single cam bow. My wife loves hers.

The rascal is about $299 without accessories, the ladyhawk is more money, but has more poundage. IMO, the rascal (40 lb) is the most underrated and fastest "youth" bow. Equipped with some 75g cut on contact heads (steelforce/magnus), I have seen three pass-throughs on hogs in the 125 lb class. If they made one in 50-60 lb draw and 29" DL, I'd be inclined to get one for myself! Check them out on bowtech's website - I'm sure that some others will agree with me on this one.
